This book investigates whether legal reforms intended to create a
market-friendly regulatory business environment have a positive
impact on economic and financial outcomes. After conducting a
critical review of the legal origins literature, the authors first
analyze the evolution of legal rules and regulations during the
last decade (2006-2014). For that purpose, the book uses
legal/regulatory indicators from the World Bank's Doing Business
Project (2015). The findings indicate that countries have actively
reformed their legal systems during this period, particularly
French civil law countries. A process of convergence in the
evolution of legal rules and regulations is observed: countries
starting in 2006 in a lower position have improved more than
countries with better initial scores. Also, French civil law
countries have reformed their legal systems to a larger extent than
common law countries and, consequently, have improved more in the
majority of the Doing Business indicators used. Second, the authors
estimate fixed-effects panel regressions to analyze the
relationship between changes in legal rules and regulations and
changes in the real economy. The findings point to a lack of
systematic effects of legal rules and regulations on economic and
financial outcomes. This result stands in contrast to the
widespread belief that reforms aiming to strengthen investor and
creditor rights (and other market-friendly policies) systematically
lead to better economic and financial outcomes.
